I'm reminded a bit of Nadreck and the other Palainians, from the Lensman universe. They were physical entities, but fundamentally four-dimensional in space. The forms humans could observe, were three-dimensional "shadows" of their true (unperceivable by us) beings, and these solid "shadows" were subject to change in weird and arbitrary ways from one moment to the next.
Tsillah seems to take this from the opposite direction... a mostly-two-dimensional shadow bring, casting a three-dimensional body.

YRC! Based on her trick of dissolving, and the fact that she's just shown Monica two significantly different forms, and looks about twenty years older than when she met Shelly and Justin, I get the feeling that her form and appearance are very much a matter of choice at any particular moment.

2. I don't have that account anymore, and I'd actually be surprised if the link actually works. (It does, but I'm not sure for how much longer. Try this instead: http://webpages.charter.net/jwhouk/wapsi.htm)
3. Now that I have the capability, I can publish that into a PDF document, which will make it a WHOLE lot easier to read and update, and host it over on Scribd. Lemme get it updated and then put it up there.

Dietzel, Tepoz, the GGs revealing themselves, Tina revealing herself, Phix, Nudge's reveal, and now Tsillah.
Also, Tsillah is direct about her being assigned. M is on coffee not alcohol now, so her consideration of her own "brains and power" is coming under the scrutiny, and possible challenge, of those claiming the authority to wield them over the world.
Ya know ... in the panel with the water shutoff notice, Dietzel looks sort of like an Edward Gorey character.
Mr Earbrass, perhaps.

Yes--but can he poit pizza directly into the stomach of his charge?
Oh, Dietzel knows and respects Monica much too well to ever do that. He would not deny her the enjoyment of tasting the pizza.
What Tepoz did, was rather rude (IMO). Monica didn't get to enjoy the turkey Tepoz poited into her stomach... she just passed out in a tryptophan haze, and then had a rather unpleasant experience in the loo the next morning. Some guardian he was!
